As the October 20, 2025 hearing approaches, a pivotal session intended to finalize Mr. Sachs\u2019s termination of court-appointed counsel and to rule on an emergency motion to vacate a sweeping, unlawful no-contact order, the stakes could not be higher. <b>That order currently bars both parents from any form of contact with their own son, under the unlawful and draconian threat of immediate arrest and no-bail bench warrants<\/b>. Against this backdrop of judicial overreach and prosecutorial aggression, the underlying question looms ever larger: Can the presiding judge and lead prosecutor possibly claim impartiality now?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">This is not hyperbole. In his detailed 38\u2011page Joinder to his wife\u2019s emergency motion to vacate the unlawful no contact order, Mr. Sachs laid bare a broad pattern of statutory violations, due process deprivations, ethical breaches, and prosecutorial fraud by <b>Judge Jessica K. Peterson<\/b> and <b>Chief Deputy District Attorney Dena Rinetti<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">At the core of this case lies a devastating truth: the parents were <b>framed in early 2019 for three felony counts each of child neglect and abuse, <\/b>charges that have since been <b>scientifically disproven<\/b>. Their son\u2019s condition was not the result of parental wrongdoing but of <b>iatrogenic gadolinium poisoning<\/b>, a medical injury confirmed by world\u2011renowned MRI contrast expert <b>Dr. Richard Semelka<\/b> in his January 13, 2025, four\u2011page report. That report exonerates the parents completely, yet both the prosecutor and judge have willfully ignored it, acting in open defiance of law, science, and ethics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Such a refusal to acknowledge exonerating medical evidence raises the gravest of questions about motive. The prosecutor\u2019s malicious insistence on pursuing a debunked narrative, coupled with the judge\u2019s apparent alignment with that agenda, suggests a disturbing intent: <b>to shield the powerful children\u2019s hospital, its doctors, and its business interests at all costs.<\/b><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Legal expert <b>Richard Cornforth<\/b>, author of <b>\u201c<\/b><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Secrets of the Legal Industry<\/i><\/b><\/span><b><i>\u201d<\/i><\/b>, reviewed the case and called it \u201c<b>one of the worst I\u2019ve ever seen<\/b>,\u201d describing it as a <b>landmark battle for parental rights<\/b> and a test of whether Nevada\u2019s justice system can still correct its own corruption.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">At the heart of any fair judicial system lies one ironclad principle: <b>no person may be punished under a law or order that has not been properly enacted, proven, and served<\/b>. In this case, the record shows that Judge Peterson has repeatedly bypassed those safeguards, undermining everything from Nevada statutes to constitutional due process. Her transgressions are not isolated errors, they form a pattern of hypocrisy and procedural lawbreaking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><b>Judge Jessica K. Peterson: Repeated Violations and Hypocrisy<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Judge Peterson\u2019s <b>March 5, 2025 affidavit<\/b> is especially revealing. In it, she swears that she holds <b>no bias or prejudice<\/b>, that she has \u201cmaintained an open mind\u201d for every issue, and that she handles each case \u201cwith diligence, integrity, and impartiality.\u201d She even states she has \u201con numerous occasions corrected myself when I have made a mistake.\u201d Yet her courtroom record stands in stark opposition to these assertions.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li5\">On <b>September 5, 2025<\/b>, after denying the State\u2019s motion to exclude Dr. Semelka\u2019s testimony, she granted the <b>oral stay motion<\/b> put forth by the prosecutor, despite the fact that under <b>NRS 177.015(2)<\/b> such a stay must be tied to a timely notice of appeal, which was never filed. That stay was later memorialized in writing without acknowledging or remedying its lack of statutory basis.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li5\">Just days later, on <b>September 8, 2025<\/b>, she signed <b>bench warrants<\/b> for both parents based on prosecutor\u2019s Rinetti\u2019s brazenly false claim that they violated a \u201cno-contact order.\u201d But the \u201corder\u201d cited was nothing more than the original 2019 summons for arraignment with a handwritten annotation stating \u201cno contact with named victim.\u201d Under <b>NRS 178.4845<\/b>, any no-contact order is time-limited to 120 days, meaning that whatever that note may have once represented was long expired and void. Judge Peterson failed to verify the validity of the order.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Instead, she simply accepted the claim and acted as prosecutor, judge, and executioner in one fell swoop.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li5\">Her public comments on the record have also exhibited bias. She has expressed skepticism of the parents\u2019 motives, made speculative accusations about their intent, and dismissed legal arguments as though they were frivolous, even in the face of detailed legal documentation. This runs directly counter to her sworn promise of impartiality and judicial restraint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p5\">In sum: Judge Peterson has violated multiple statutes, failed to afford due process, ignored invalid documents, silenced defendants, and repeatedly acted as though the rules apply only to others, all while claiming to be above bias or error.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><b>Prosecutor Dena Rinetti: Misconduct, Falsehoods, and Abuse of Power<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">If Judge Peterson\u2019s path is marked by overreach and hypocrisy, <b>Prosecutor Rinetti\u2019s is marked by deception and malice<\/b>. The conduct she has engaged in is not mere prosecutorial zeal, it is a calculated attack on truth, fairness, and the law itself.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li5\">After being denied her motion to strike Dr. Semelka\u2019s expert evidence on September 5, she made the <b>unlawful oral motion for a stay<\/b>, asserting authority she does not have, and then failed to file any notice of appeal within the mandatory timeframe. She then sat on that illegal stay, refusing to correct it even after formal demands from Mr. Sachs in writing.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li5\">She misrepresented a <b>2019 summons annotation<\/b> as a valid no-contact order to justify bench warrants and arrests. <b>That is not a mistake, in Nevada law it is demonstrably false<\/b>, and as an experienced prosecutor she had a <b>duty<\/b> not to mislead the court. Her malicious actions directly led to nine days of fugitive status for an innocent family.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li5\">She has refused to acknowledge or remediate these errors even after being put on formal notice, a silence that speaks volumes about her belief that the rules don\u2019t apply to her. Her inaction, despite clear legal mandates and repeated demands, <b>violates duties of candor, fairness, and prosecutorial ethics<\/b>.<\/li>\n<li class=\"li5\">Because her misconduct lies outside the legitimate bounds of prosecutorial advocacy, her acts may not be shielded by qualified immunity. That opens the door for civil rights claims under <b>42 U.S.C. \u00a7 1983<\/b>, as well as accountability for <b>abuse of process<\/b>, <b>malicious prosecution<\/b>, and <b>intentional infliction of emotional distress<\/b>.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><span class=\"s3\"><b>Note: Mr. Sachs is now actively seeking a civil rights attorney to bring immediate action against Chief Deputy DA Dena Rinetti. His contact information is included in the full Joinder linked at the end of this article.<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p6\"><b>The Path Forward: Demand for Disqualification and a Return to Lawful Process<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">With this long and well-documented record of statutory violations, factual misrepresentations, and ethical breaches, it is no longer tenable for either <b>Judge Jessica K. Peterson<\/b> or <b>Chief Deputy District Attorney Dena Rinetti<\/b> to remain involved in this case. Their continued participation compromises every proceeding and directly undermines the integrity of the judicial system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">For Mr. Sachs, the October 20, 2025 hearing is intended to finalize the termination of his court-appointed counsel, Mr. Marchese, who, despite receiving two formal demand letters, refused in writing to file a simple joinder, made no effort to expedite his withdrawal, and failed to request a waiver of appearance. This wasn\u2019t mere neglect; it was <b>willful sabotage<\/b> that forced Mr. Sachs to conduct his own legal research just to justify filing pro se. The Nevada Supreme Court\u2019s ADKT 411 Order spells out the binding obligations of appointed counsel, obligations Mr. Marchese blatantly ignored. In his October 14 filing, Mr. Sachs cited controlling U.S. Supreme Court precedent to lawfully assert his right to file on his own behalf after Marchese\u2019s refusal to perform even this basic legal task.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Meanwhile, Mr Sachs\u2019s, wife, Yuxia Zhang, is giving her own appointed counsel, Travis Shetler, <b>one final opportunity to act as a real advocate<\/b>, after he failed to object to the fraudulent arrest maneuver by Rinetti on September 8. That hearing, based on an expired, handwritten note never signed into law, was not just improper, <b>it was illegal<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">At stake on October 20 is far more than procedural housekeeping. Also pending is a motion filed by Ms Zhang\u2019s court appointed attorney to <b>vacate the unlawful no-contact order, <\/b>an emergency request that would finally restore their right to speak with and support their son, who has been the silent victim of this multi-year legal charade. It was only after the September 8th \u201cshotgun\u201d hearing that the Sachs family made the heart-wrenching decision to send their son on a one-way flight to China to protect him from being seized by Arkansas CPS, a chilling reminder of the stakes involved when lawlessness runs unchecked in the courtroom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">This is not simply a case of courtroom misconduct. This is a <b>frame-up<\/b> of innocent parents who had the courage to seek proper medical care for their child, only to be punished for it by a system that appears more interested in protecting a powerful children\u2019s hospital than in protecting the truth. Again, their son\u2019s <b>gadolinium poisoning<\/b> was real, confirmed by one of the world\u2019s leading authorities, <b>Dr. Richard Semelka<\/b>, who issued a four-page expert report on <b>January 13, 2025<\/b> exonerating the Sachs family\u2019s actions and confirming the source of harm as iatrogenic, caused by the medical system itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">The prosecutor and judge <b>have no legal authority to ignore that medical truth<\/b>. And yet, that\u2019s exactly what they\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><b>A Call to the Public: Read the Full Evidence<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">For those who want to see the truth firsthand, Mr. Sachs has made his full 38-page Joinder, filed October 14, 2025, available online, complete with supporting exhibits and legal references. This detailed filing lays out, with precision, every law violated, every due process right denied, and every lawful step the parents have taken in pursuit of accountability. Any reasonable observer who reads this monumental document will come to the same conclusion: <b>Judge Jessica Peterson and Prosecutor Dena Rinetti must recuse themselves immediately, <\/b>or, failing that, the parents will be left with no choice but to move once again for their disqualification. They are not holding their breath for the former.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s4\"><b>Read it here: <a href=\"https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025-10-14-SACHS-JOINDER-TO-EMERGENCY-MOTION-TO-SET-ASIDE-NO-CONTACT-ORDER-BECAUSE-JESS-MARCHESE-UNLAWFULLY-RUFUSED-TO-FILE.pdf\">https:\/\/stateofthenation.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025-10-14-SACHS-JOINDER-TO-EMERGENCY-MOTION-TO-SET-ASIDE-NO-CONTACT-ORDER-BECAUSE-JESS-MARCHESE-UNLAWFULLY-RUFUSED-TO-FILE.pdf<\/a><\/b><\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><b>Final Word<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">This case is no longer just about the Sachs family.
